Default Performance exhaust... any suggestions?

Hi all. I have a 2016 A3 Quattro Cabrio. I am thinking of getting a performance exhaust. I want the look of 3" tips single each side. I don't really care about performance but I want a nice sound only under acceleration but a smooth quite (stock) sounding when every day normal driving. I had an s5 before and I found the exhaust note gave me a headache. Any suggestions? Videos with sound? I found Magnaflow model 15352 on eBay. Any have that? Let me know. Thanks.

That's what I'm considering as well.

Here's a link to a thread about exhausts after a few of us installed the Magnaflow: 2.0T Magnaflow Exhaust

I've now had it for almost two years and am very pleased with the purchase. I still stand by my post/feedback on the second page. Let me know if you have any specific questions after reading through it!

I'm thinking of about a dozen smart A$$ comments, but I try not to "stoop to their level."

I've used a local custom shop several times, not on the A3...yet.
Quality as good or better than some/most off the shelf systems, stainless steel, mandrel bent, etc. Price same or less, fits perfect and I haven't had to spend HOURS under the car like a cheap Remus I put on a 300zxtt.


Google ""custom exhaust" your town" and you should find a few quality shops.

Local custom may be the best solution since A3 sedan exhausts will not fit on the cabrio.

I ordered the Magnaflow... I went to a local custom muffler shop and they also recommended I go with the magnaflow. Once I receive it I will try to do a video on it and share will everyone.
